<pre>Hi,<br><br>- "Potentially catastrophic Super Typhoon Megi approaching the Philippines"<br><a href="http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment.html?entrynum=1661">http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment.html?entrynum=1661</a><br><br>- From <a href="http://www.pagasa.dost.gov.ph/:">http://www.pagasa.dost.gov.ph/:</a><br>*Hourly Update on Typhoon "JUAN" *<br>As of 6:00 a.m., today (Monday, 18 October 2010), Typhoon *"JUAN"* was <br>located at *190 km *East of *Tuguegarao,Cagayan. * *(17.5°N, 123.5°E)* <br>with maximum sustained winds of *225 kph* near the center and gustiness <br>of up to *260 kph*.

Estimated <br>central pressure: *922 hpa.*<br><br><br>- NOAA numerical weather model, as shown by zyGrib, forecast that <br>typhoon trajectory should sweep over Northern Luzon.<br><br><br>Certainly, Mappers from the Philippines could say better what could be <br>of help.<br><br>It seems that OSM
map of the potentially affected area contains many <br>towns without connecting roads (<a href="http://osm.org/go/42hNR6--">http://osm.org/go/42hNR6--</a> ). It is <br>difficult to trace them without more imagery than is available now (I've <br>let our contact at Spot Image know about this), but we could already use <br>Landsat to map rivers (as heavy rains are forecast, and flash floods <br>possible).<br><br>Best wishes,<br><br>Jean-Guilhem<br></pre><br></div>== Mikel Maron ==<br>+254(0)724899738 @mikel s:mikelmaron<br><span><a target="_blank" href="http://mapkibera.org/">http://mapkibera.org/</a></span><br><span><a target="_blank" href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Haiti">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Haiti</a></span><div><br></div>
